With society becoming more and more judgemental, education may change for the worst.
People will be judged by what they do early on(in meaningless
high-school classes), and where they go to college. Where you go
to college is becoming more important than ever. People that go
to weaker colleges get passed up for promotion. Also, top
graduate schools don't accept people who went to weaker undergraduate
schools. In the old days, people were judged by there performance
in more ways than this.
More importantly, it is becoming increasingly
difficult for someone who has been in the workforce to be able to get a
degree to advance. Schools will not take "Late Bloomers"
often.
This prevents a lot of people from having careers.
I think that these factors make life more
pre-determined. I feel this pre-determination is a threat to
American liberty. America has been made strong partially do
to people that worked "Low Level jobs", and then went to college and
advanced at companies.
Do you guys think it will be possible for people that did not go to a
great college, to have a great career in the future? I mean in
academic fields such as medicine, engineering, law, politics.
